City spending to fight tolls to grow Mercer Island likely to hire more lawyers, lobbyists and consultants to fight tolls, conduct studies By Mary L. Grady
editor@mi-reporter.com
In its effort to fight tolls on Interstate 90, the City of Mercer Island has spend about $125,000 to date out of a budget approved for the work of $150,000. From Olympia to Virginia to Washington, D.C., the city has taken its fight across the country. The work of legal counsel and lobbyists hired by the city are part of a two-pronged effort to look at both the state and federal roles in
determining both the legality and the impact of tolling as a way to fund the rebuild of State Route 520. Within those realms, the city has hired help to look at the following areas that might determine if, first, tolls are illegal, and next, if there are other sources of funds to pay for the SR-520 bridge. First, the city is concerned that decision makers may opt for a more abbreviated approach to assessing the impact of tolling by approving the production of an environmental assessment rather than a full environmental impact statement. By law, an EIS implies that the agency in charge fully studies and documents the social, environmental and economic impact of imposing tolls. In addition, the city has hired
lobbyists to work within the state Legislature to look for other funding sources for the bridge rather than tolling. Next, the city wants to be part of the decision about the legality of tolling a federal highway to pay for a state highway. As a part of that effort, the city has hired legal strategists to follow lawsuits brought against tolling in Portsmouth, Va., in a similar situation. Finally, if the state does decide to do a full EIS, the city will likely hire experts to follow the work. The Washington State Department of Transportation will be the lead agency on the report. “If and when an EIS is a go,” Treat said, “we will want to monitor the work being done on the economic impact, traffic changes and other effects from tolling.” In that case, a traffic consultant and an economic impact expert will be hired, he said. A traffic engineer will cost $25,000. According to City Finance
Longtime Island resident, Benson Wong, has announced that he will run for Mercer Island City Council Position No. 6, currently held by Mike Grady. Wong said, “I am excited about the opportunity to work for the residents of the Island if elected onto the City Council. While I was born and raised in Seattle, the Island has been my home for almost 30 years. My family and I love living here. I want to use the talents, skills and energy that I have to help make the Island an even healthier community.” As an attorney with the Seattle law firm of Keller Rohrback L.L.P., Wong believes that the skills used while representing clients in his business practice are well suited for

Wong | FROM 1 the City Council. “When advocating and negotiating for a client, you also need to listen carefully to the other party. By doing so, often a win-win result occurs. I will listen and consider all viewpoints while on the City Council and will work with others for the Island’s common good.” According to former School Board president and community activist, Terry Pottmeyer, who serves on Wong’s steering committee, “I have been fortunate to work with Benson on several community boards and committees over the years. He has consistently demonstrated a collaborative and thoughtful approach to our shared work. When Benson is involved, the team gets things accomplished.” Wong sees challenges facing the community over the next four years, but also sees exciting opportunities ahead that will allow the community to shape its future.
“As a community, we need to confront the challenges with an effective Island voice. While that voice often comes from the City Council, I want to make sure that it resonates from the entire Island,” he said. Wong believes that the WSDOT’s current proposal for tolling I-90 is unfair to both Island residents and to non-resident employees and adversely impacts Island businesses that rely on customers from off the Island. He said he will work vigorously to defeat the current proposal. Wong is also committed to the continued Town C e n t e r development so that it best serves the Island’s local busiTerry Pottmeyer nesses and will ensure that the Island has well-maintained parks and open spaces. He emphasized the importance of having the City Council be an effective partner with the Mercer Island School District. When his children were attending Island schools, Wong served on the Mercer Island Schools Foundation for three years. In 2011 he

Tolls | FROM 1 Director Chip Corder, additional funds for the effort may be available from savings in last year’s budget. He will ask the Council if they wish to make those funds available at the City Council meeting on Monday night after Reporter deadline. Both Corder and Assistant City Manager Noel Treat are uncertain about the amount of money it will take to fully monitor or influence the outcome regarding tolling I-90. Yet both acknowledge that certain actions will require hiring additional expertise. What is actually planned or spent is up to the City Council, they said. It is difficult to say at this point how much the city might spend in its effort to fight and/or mitigate the effects of tolling I-90. “If the city decides to litigate at both the state and federal levels, the cost could run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars,” he said.

Donations sought for solar array at Community and Event Center

By Reporter Staff
A solar array is being planned for the Mercer Island Community and Event Center as the Island’s first renewable energy installation. IslandVision, a Mercer Island nonprofit, and community groups TIMI and the Mercer Island Green Ribbon Commission are working to raise $40,000 for the project. Last year, Mercer Island met the goals of the “Green Power Challenge” and received a PSE grant of $30,000. The 10kW solar array will cost an estimated $70,000 to install on the grounds of the community center. “We invite residents to donate to this exciting community solar project. Islanders have been generous in cooperatively funding our city parks and public amenities,” said IslandVision Board Chair Callie Ridolfi. “Likewise, if we raise $40,000, this will more than double the size of the solar array and provide a significant renewable energy resource for the Island.” The solar installation will help to power the community center, and thus reduce the cost of operating that facility for decades to come.

Inventory of homes, condos for sale lower than a year ago By Reporter Staff
For March, the number of homes sold on Mercer Island was up, but the amount of active inventory usually seen in the weeks before spring has yet to materialize. Data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service indicates that the 35 single family homes and one condo that sold last month
represent a more than 50 percent increase over the amount of homes sold in March of 2012. The median price for the single family homes (closed sales) was $869,000, up about 6 percent from the median price a year ago. The number of homes listed last month remains well under inventory in 2012. In March of 2012, the number of single family homes on the Island offered for sale totalled 81, down from 111 a year ago.
Just 10 condos were offered for sale last month, in contrast to 20 offered for sale a year ago. At present there are seven condos for sale and 82 single family homes; two-thirds are offered at $1 million or more. Just six are under $500,000. The most expensive home for sale on the Island is an eight-bedroom waterfront mansion offered at $16.75 million. The least expensive is a one-bedroom, 975-square-foot condo for $195,000.

FAA delays air tower closures as Renton considers lawsuit By Dean Radford
editor@rentonreporter.com
Just days after the City of Renton said it was considering legal action over the planned closure of the control tower at Renton Municipal Airport, the FAA announced it would delay closures until June. The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Friday, April 5, that it would be delaying the closure of 149 air traffic control towers around the United States. The delay is until midJune in order to give the Obama administration time to deal with legal
challenges. The City of Renton has been considering legal action over the planned closure of the control tower. The Renton closure was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. on Sunday, April 21. “We do anticipate taking some legal action by the end of this week,” Mayor Denis Law said Tuesday. He doesn’t know yet whether the city would join another lawsuit against the FAA or file one of its own. Spokane Airports filed a lawsuit against the FAA last week over the closure of the tower at Felts Field, which

News briefs King County to waive late fees in April for pet licenses Pet owners on Mercer Island and much of King County can take advantage of a one-month “license amnesty period” in April and bring their expired pet licenses up-to-date or purchase new tags for animals not currently licensed without facing late fees or other penalties. “A pet license is the best insurance policy you can buy for your pet,” says Dr. Gene Mueller, manager of Kent-based Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC). “For instance, if your pet is wearing its license and it shows up at our Pet Adoption Center, we will notify you that your pet is here. Or if we find your licensed pet in the field, we’ll return it to you instead of taking it to the center. What’s more, an injured animal wearing a license is more likely to receive veterinary care if you’re not around.” King County pet owners can go to www.kingcounty.gov/pets, then click on “License Your Pet” to renew a pet license online. Licenses are also sold at the King County Pet Adoption Center, 21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent, at 25 Regional Partner City Halls, many QFC stores, vehicle licensing agencies, or at any of the six King County Community Service Centers (CSCs) located throughout King County. For a full list of pet licensing locations, visit www.kingcounty.gov/pets. For more information about pet licensing, call the Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) at (206) 296-PETS (7387).

The purpose of a lawsuit would be to stop the FAA from closing the tower until federal officials can resolve their budget issues, he said. Closure of the tower, he said, is “primarily a public safety concern.” Renton Airport would remain open, but all airplanes, including the 737, would need to maintain visual contact with other craft landing or taking off from the airport and on the ground as well. The airport is the sixth-
busiest in the state, measured in takeoffs and landings. The city doesn’t have the money to operate the control tower on its own, Law said. It’s estimated that it would cost $400,000 to $450,000 a year to maintain the operations of the tower at its current levels. The tower is one of 149 that the FAA plans to close to help balance its budget, which was cut because of federal sequester.

Verizon cell tower project moves forward The project to place a Verizon cell tower near Island Crest Park is continuing to move forward, according to the City of Mercer Island. The Verizon project manager is working with the city on final details before final permitting for the project. While putting in an underground vault for the tower, Verizon discovered groundwater was collecting near the vault, requiring a dewatering system to be installed in order to protect the electronic equipment that would be housed in the vault. Verizon opted to make the improvements now, instead of redoing the landscaping around the project later on. Once the city receives the dewatering plan for review, permits should be issued by April 15. Construction of the system and completion of the landscape restoration should be completed by the end of May. To learn more, contact Parks Superintendent Jason Kintner at jason.kintner@ mercergov.org.
Snoqualmie Pass work will bring driving delays this spring, summer Motorists planning a trip over Interstate 90 east of Snoqualmie Pass will face several major road improvement projects that will delay drivers this year as the Washington State Department of Transportation improves sections of roadway across a 50-mile stretch of I-90. WSDOT and contractor crews will start work in the next several weeks on a number of projects that will add lanes, build bridges, repave bridge decks and repair cracked sections of pavement. Several locations east of Snoqualmie Pass will have single-lane closures and rolling slowdowns this summer, which will add to travel time. During construction, drivers need to add at least an hour to their east-west trips. Motorists can check the WSDOT website at www. wsdot.wa.gov to learn more about the project and closures.

To the editor Governor Inslee’s budget is full of new taxes
removed sales tax from bottled water when they passed Initiative 1107 in 2010. The bottom line is that Gov. Inslee’s budget proposal is filled with new taxes that he and his team are trying to characterize otherwise. Don’t be fooled. I, for one, am writing my House representatives and encouraging them to support the bipartisan budget proposal that the state Senate just passed — it funds education as required by the state Supreme Court and doesn’t include a raft of new taxes. I encourage everyone to do the same. Joe Williams
Despite claims that Gov. Inslee’s 20132015 budget proposal only includes “extensions” for existing taxes or “repeals” of tax breaks, the truth is quite the opposite. It is filled with new taxation, and is coming at a most unwelcome time in our nascent economic recovery. The recently passed Senate budget plan is a bipartisan effort (31 Republicans, 18 Democrats) to meet funding needs without raising taxes — a laudable effort in these ever-more-bipartisan days. Gov.

owners and oil companies a message by impacting their sales, they will continue to rip us off with inflated gas prices just because they can. Holly Levin
Response to recent letter supporting tolling Ms. Friends’ letter had many misconceptions. #1: That our political philosophy has been smaller government and less taxes. In fact, the Washington DOT has grown 250 percent since 1991 in a state economy that for the most part has been growing at less than 2 percent. The gas tax was raised seven times since 1991. Each time the people were promised that the raise in gas tax would pay for the additional lanes on the new parallel SR-520 bridge, and instead the money disappeared into other projects and growing a huge bureaucracy. #2: That the money would not be found to rebuild SR-520 and that without
the rebuild there would only be the I-90 bridge across the lake. In fact, the SR-520 bridge is not being rebuilt. A parallel bridge is being built next to the old SR-520 bridge. Ironically, the reason for the rebuild was congestion, which is now reduced 30 percent by the toll. If they had just tolled SR-520 and not built the bridge, the problem would have been solved and the state would have lots of extra money. #3: Mercer Islanders are very wealthy. A study in the Mercer Island Reporter a few years ago showed that a large percentage of people living on the Island bought their houses in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. They are retired now, living on fixed incomes and couldn’t afford to buy their houses at the current prices. So, yes, Paul Allen and others like him skew the household income upward, but don’t assume the rest of us are wealthy. #4: We could spend a lot of money fighting the toll, or spend it instead on

March ends with series of vehicle prowls By Reporter Staff
A rash of car prowls continued over the last week of March. The crime spree began with eight prowls and one vehicle theft on Sunday night, March 24. Two burglaries and nine car prowls took place late Friday night, March 29. Someone entered a house under construction through the front door, which had been left unlocked and open after the door jam was painted, in the 5200 block of Butterworth Road. A 50-inch flatscreen TV was stolen after being removed from a wall. A TV bracket mount was taken into evidence for fingerprints. A Bose sound system and digital recording system
were also stolen. The victim’s obscured surveillance camera recorded two suspects at 2:11 a.m. The total loss was $3,500. In the same block, three unlocked vehicles were entered and searched, and $4 in coins were stolen out of one vehicle. Someone also rummaged through a Toyota Highlander in the 5300 block, but no items were known to be missing. An open garage was burglarized in the 4200 block of Shoreclub Drive, and two unlocked vehicles parked inside were rummaged through. $5 in coins was stolen. Multiple items were stolen out of an unlocked vehicle parked in a carport in the same block — including cash, two bags

Roger W. Bockman 1923 - 2013
Roger W. Bockman, a World War II veteran and long-time resident of Mercer Island, passed away February 25, 2013 on Mercer Island. Roger was born in Nome, AK. He lived there until he left to study at the University of Washington and then served in the Second World War with the invasion forces stationed in the Philippines.

letters | FROM 5 bicycle paths, parks and emergency equipment. Mercer Island already has more bicycle paths and parks than its citizens can use, and if you haven’t noticed we’re already spending a lot of money on a new fire station. The rest was a lot of could be and might be. I have personal experience with a business that was going to locate here, but decided not to because of the threat of the toll. The businesses that decide to stay on the Island will subsidize the tolls that their employees pay and add the increased costs of doing business here into the costs of goods and services. The school district, city, fire and police will subsidize their employees and add that into our taxes. So, the residents of the Island will not only pay for themselves, but also for all those other employees and businesses. I bring it to your attention that tolls are being planned in several more places on I-5, I-405, the waterfront tunnel and other places around the state. Also, once there, they can be raised at any time, like on the Narrows bridge. Remember that even more money will have to be found for the Eastside light rail starting in five years. I, for one, have not been this angry at government since the Vietnam War and am sick of being bullied by these schoolyard bullies who take more than just my lunch money. Bob Ewing

Clibborn an asset to Island, state
Tolling I-90 is bad policy for all | Island Forum
Mercer Island and Washington state are both extremely fortunate to have Judy Clibborn in the legislature. The recent barrage of attacks on and criticism of Judy Clibborn is unwarranted. Clibborn has the courage to tell constituents things the constituents do not want to hear ... but need to hear. I strongly disagree with those who claim that Clibborn should advocate solely for Mercer Island interests. Clibborn is the chair of the Transportation Committee for the entire state. She would be remiss in her responsibilities if she were to take blind-loyalty, MercerIsland-first-last-and-only position(s) ... and the state Legislature would be as dysfunctional as is the U.S. Congress. She is tasked with finding solutions to multifaceted and very complex problems. I commend her willingness and ability to confront the totality of the problem(s) head-on. Judy Clibborn a dedicated public servant. She is smart, perceptive, a quick study, accessible and even-handed. She has her head screwed on straight. She deserves greater respect. She could easily conclude, “Do I need to put up with this BS?” and avoid all the headaches and the nonsense. We don’t want that to happen. Mercer Island and Washington state need Judy Clibborn and more like her in Olympia. Tim Wettack

policy to those in the 41st District who will live with the disproportionate and enormous financial penalty and diversion caused by I-90 tolls. R e p . Clibborn has unselfishly served the 41st for many years. Many don’t want her career identified among neighbors to be tolls on I-90 to pay for the unfunded/untolled portion of SR-520 Montlake Approach. Many want her on the 41st District team working hard to stop I-90 tolls and to pay for the SR-520 Montlake Approach from alternative sources, value-engineering or other savings. Many hope she changes her message from “I-90 tolls are inevitable” to “no tolls on I-90.” I hope Rep. Clibborn includes a budget proviso requiring WSDOT to perform a full and comprehensive Environmental
Impact Study (EIS) of all consequences to the region and all funding alternatives other than a toll on an interstate to pay for the unfunded/ untolled Montlake Appro ach. She should amend her transportation package to set aside a portion of the $10 billion in state gasoline tax increases to finish SR-520 work that is underfunded. Mike Cero is a Mercer Island City Councilman.
“Tolling a federal interstate to pay for an underfunded state road is poor policy.”
Ms. Editor’s Note: Clibborn said in her recent interview with the Mercer Island Reporter (issue of April 3) that she had sent in a proviso to fund a full Environmental Impact Statement for tolling on Interstate 90 earlier this session.

According to Turner, the present special education staff includes: 21 certified special education teachers; six psychologists (four are part-time); six speech therapists (two are part-time); two speech therapist assistants; three occupational therapists (part-time); a physical therapist (part-time) and three full-time nurses.

$5.5 million, representing 13 percent of the total budget for the Mercer Island School District for the year. Joy Dunne, the school nurse at Mercer Island High School, emphasizes that special education services are all about partnership and teamwork. Dunne was the first professional from the district to meet Jim Holt’s parents in 1999, just before he began preschool. Dunne, an RN who also has a degree in special education, said Holt was one the most disabled students she has ever worked with. Dunne and Jim’s parents worked together to figure out how to deal with his physical needs, such as being fed every two hours, how to cope with his seizures and ensure his safety. Despite the severity of his disabilities, Dunne said, there were expectations for his learning and growth. “They wanted the best for him, despite his disabilities,” Dunne said of Kathy Holt and Jim Holt. ” It was a partnership that lasted until Jim’s sudden death on Feb. 21. For her part, Jim’s mother Kathy Holt cannot say enough about the school dis-

Dunne simply said, ‘it is our job.’ “It is our mission to help all students learn regardless of their abilities,” she said. Turner notes that special needs students like Jim are a gift to staff and students alike. “Within the Mercer Island
School District, there are students like Jim who provide a wonderful experience for non-disabled kids. Those interactions give them compassion, empathy and acceptance — and a good deal of perspective, too,” she said.

New York Times bestselling author to talk about introverted kids By Gwen Davis
Special to the Reporter
Your elementary-aged daughter likes playing by herself at school. She talks most when she is with her family. She doesn’t have many friends. Her teachers say she’s shy and avoids the other kids during recess. In other words, your child is an introvert. But she’s perfectly normal. In our loud and talkative society, introverts are seemingly problematic. Parents worry if their kid is not a social butterfly. However, introverts are natural — their minds are simply wired slightly different than that of an
extrovert, and it’s a good thing. Mercer Island Parent Edge and ParentMap will host a lecture series at 7 p.m. on April 10 featuring Susan Cain and her new book, “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking,” a New York Times bestseller. Cain’s TED.com talk in 2012 went viral with over a million views about her argument that our culture holds a bias toward the “extroverted ideal” — gregarious and highly verbal — while undervaluing the strengths of introverts, who are more reflective, persistent and sensitive. Cain will focus on the
School briefs Island Park, Lakeridge earn state academic honors Mercer Island’s Island Park and Lakeridge elementary schools have earned Washington Achievement Awards for 2012 from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Island Park Elementary earned an overall excellence award in the elementary school category, as did Lakeridge. Island Park was also honored for its work in math and science, while Lakeridge earned a science honor as well. In total, 381 schools in the state earned awards. Schools are recognized for being top performers in seven categories, including: overall excellence, language arts, math, science, extended graduation rate, closing achievement gaps and high progress. To see the full list of schools honored this year, visit the OSPI website at www.k12. wa.us.
NW Yeshiva rocketry team heads to national competition A Northwest Yeshiva High School rocketry team is heading to the Team America Rocketry Challenge in Virginia in May. The program is the largest student rocket contest in the
country and has been held for the last decade, helping students to learn about science, technology, engineering and match. Representing Northwest Yeshiva will be Jessica Schwartz, Grace Almo, Itai Amon and Joel Jacobs, all seniors at the school. This year a record 725 teams participated, with only the top 100 earning spots to compete in the final fly-off in The Plains in May. Before heading east for the competition, the teams work to perfect their rockets, competing for the chance to win more than $60,000 in scholarships and to participate in NASA’s Student Launch Initiative.

MISD is Education Recycler of the Year Mercer Island School District has been named the Youth Education Recycler for the Year by the Washington State Recycling Association. The Mercer Island School District has incorporated environmental stewardship into the school board’s 2020 Vision, and each of the five schools in the district has made outstanding progress in promoting youth involvement in recycling and waste prevention. The district has participated in the King County Green Schools Program for several years, with all five schools recognized as Level One Green Schools for their effective waste reduction and recycling practices, particularly in reducing lunchroom waste. Three schools have completed Level Two (energy conservation) and one has completed Level Three (water conservation).

Eventually, she left law and began working on her own, coaching clients in negotiating skills and working as a writer. “When I started practicing the law, I thought the ideal lawyer was bold and comfortable in the spotlight, but I was none of those things,” Cain told TIME. “I could fake those things, but it wasn’t my natural self.” “Introverted kids are often overlooked and misunderstood, which can have implications on their self-confidence, friendships and school success,” said Alayne Sulkin, ParentMap CEO and Mercer Island resident. “Ms. Cain’s remarkable work in presenting the special qualities of introverts is eye-opening for
us all to consider in our interactions with friends, colleagues and children.” The event is presented by Parent Edge. Mercer Island Parks and Recreation is a participating sponsor. The lecture will take place at Mercer Island High School in the auditorium, which seats approximately 600 people. “We expect to sell out,” Sulkin said.

West Mercer students break food drive record Students at West Mercer Elementary held a food drive in March for the Mercer Island Youth and Family Services Food Pantry, collecting a record amount of food. Last year the school held a similar drive setting a record for most donated, but this year the school amassed 5,320 items for the food pantry, beating last year’s total. The items will be enough to supply an estimated onequarter of the food pantry supplies for the next year.

Students at West Mercer donated a record amount of food to the Mercer Island Food Pantry in March. “Last year’s success was so amazing — the kids were excited to see the hallways filled with bags of ‘kindness’ again,” said Student Council volunteer co-advisor, Karen Zimmer. “Students learned about the impact of disability, illness, unemployment and fixed incomes, and how these can lead to the need for food assistance.” The student council decided in January to do the
project again this spring. The entire school got involved, with classrooms setting individual goals. Students tracked their progress during the two-week drive. Third-grader Marissa Magnussen told her mother she wanted to collect food in front of Albertsons one day. Magnussen, along with classmate Adelaide GoepfertWaterman, brought in 353 items in one day.

Maria Frank Abrams, a well-known Mercer Island artist, died on March 29 at the age of 88.
Artist, Maria Frank Abrams dies at 88 By Mary L. Grady
editor@mi-reporter.com
Maria ‘Marika’ Frank Abrams, an artist whose inspiration for her abstract, hauntingly beautiful images was often debated, died peacefully on March 29, at her Mercer Island home. She was 88. Abrams, an accomplished painter, was spoken of in the same category as artists such as Mark Tobey and Walter F. Isaacs, of the renowned Northwest School. She interpreted nature using abstract forms; the shapes manifest by the shrewd use of color and an innate sense of light. Abrams’ art has been shown and admired at the Seattle Art Museum, Otto Seligman Gallery, A Vizualart Galeria in Budapest, Israel, ’Yad Vashem Museum and the Woodside/Braseth Gallery, among others. She held some 150 shows of her work. Her art can be found on permanent display at the Mercer Island Library, the Seattle Art Museum, and the Henry Gallery at UW. There is a piece in the King County Courthouse, at city offices in Seattle, Harborview Medical Center, the Kline Galland Home, the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, and the Jundt Art Museum at Gonzaga University in Spokane. She won one of the first four King County Arts Commission awards in 1976. Her art is also displayed in many homes throughout the Northwest. In 2010, a book by Seattle art critic Matthew Kangas entitled, “Burning Forest, the Art of Maria Frank Abrams,” cataloged her work. Born in 1924, Abrams grew up in Debrecen, Hungary, in a well-to-do family. A Jew, she was just 20 and already
an artist when she and her family and more than two million others were taken to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland in 1944. She was later taken to Bergen-Belsen, a death camp in Germany, and later another internment camp in the country. Her parents and all of her extended family were killed. Only she and one cousin survived. When the death camp at Magdeburg was liberated by the Allies, Marika weighed only 68 pounds. Three years after her release from the camps, she found her way to Seattle on a Hillel scholarship to study art at the University of Washington. At the UW, she studied under renowned artists such as Walter Isaacs and Tobey and those associated with the growing modernist art movement. It set her on the path to her own unique style. Her work later expanded to mosaics and public art pieces. She also designed costumes and sets for the Seattle Opera. While many argued that her time in the concentration camps was the impetus for her often dark work, it was Abrams herself who said it was the subtle, everchanging hues of the light over Lake Washington that inspired her. She said many times over the years that she did not paint about the Holocaust. Abrams lived on Mercer Island since the mid-1950s at a home with a large, light-filled studio facing Lake Washington near West Mercer Elementary School. She leaves behind her husband of 64 years, Sydney; their son, Edward, and his wife Tali; two grandchildren, Omri and Noga Vilma; and her cousin, Vera Federman, of Mercer Island, Agnes Jacobson of Santa Barbara, and Lewis Rose of Sydney, Australia.
